I love mandarin orange and I always have the canned mandarin in my pantry. They are just great for garnishing salads, fruit salads etc. Last weekend, I bought a few pounds of clementines and kept thinking what to make out of it. I started eating it as I didn&#8217;t have any clue about making anything different with it. That&#8217;s when I came across the recipe for making this clementine cake, after reading the recipe which had a very few ingredients and it was flour less cake. What did I do next? Wohoo, I just rushed into my kitchen like a tornado and made this refreshing and moist cake. I gave my own twist to the original recipe by adding mint leaves.<\/p>\n<p>I couldn&#8217;t wait till this cake came out of the oven, I was so anxious to have a taste of this cake. It was such a moist cake, tasted light, with nice aroma of clementines and mint. Unbelievably refreshing and this cake reminded me of eating baked pudding.<\/p>\n<p>If you want a light refreshing cake with less ingredients, then this is the one.\u00a0Go ahead and grab some clementines on your next shopping, now you know what to make out of it.<\/p>\n<p>Recipe adapted from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nigella.com\/recipes\/view\/clementine-cake-2559\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Nigella Lawson<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12198\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/clementine-cake.jpg\" alt=\"clementine-cake\" width=\"475\" height=\"317\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/clementine-cake.jpg 475w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/clementine-cake-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/clementine-cake-84x55.jpg 84w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"easyrecipe\" data-rating=\"0\"> \t<link itemprop=\"image\" href=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/clementine-mint-cake-475x200.jpg\" \/>\n<div class=\"item ERName\">Flourless Clementine Mint Cake<\/div>\n<div class=\"ERClear\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\"><span class=\"xlate\">Recipe Type<\/span>: <span class=\"type\">Dessert<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Author: <span class=\"author\">Thas<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Prep time: <time itemprop=\"prepTime\" datetime=\"PT7M\">7 mins<\/time><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Cook time: <time itemprop=\"cookTime\" datetime=\"PT50M\">50 mins<\/time><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Total time: <time itemprop=\"totalTime\" datetime=\"PT57M\">57 mins<\/time><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Serves: <span class=\"yield\">6<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERIngredients\">\n<div class=\"ERIngredientsHeader\">Ingredients<\/div>\n<ul class=\"ingredients\">\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Clementine orange- 2<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Eggs- 3<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Ground almond or almond meal- 1 1\/8 cups<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Powdered sugar- 1\/2 cup<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Baking powder- 1\/2 tsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Salt- 1\/4 tsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Mint leaves- 6 (optional)<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Butter, melted- to grease the pan<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ERInstructions\">\n<div class=\"ERInstructionsHeader\">Instructions<\/div>\n<div class=\"instructions\">\n<ol>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Double the ingredients to make a large cake, if so use 9 inch springform pan.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Preheat oven to 350 F or 176 degree Celsius.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">For making this cake, use springform baking pan.
